Greece - the economic story, the protesters and the coverage. And the power of puppets and how politicians have tried their hardest to keep them off air.

Greek wine

Greece is one of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world. The earliest evidence of Greek wine has been dated to 6,500 years ago where wine was produced on a household or communal basis. In ancient times, as trade in wine became extensive, it was transported from end to end of the Mediterranean; Greek wine had especially high prestige in Italy under the Roman Empire. In the medieval period, wines exported from Crete, Monemvasia and other Greek ports fetched high prices in northern Europe.

History

The origins of wine-making in Greece go back 6,500 years and evidence suggesting wine production confirm that Greece is home to the second oldest known grape wine remnants discovered in the world and the world’s earliest evidence of crushed grapes. The spread of Greekcivilization and their worship of Dionysus, the god of wine, spread Dionysian cults throughout the Mediterranean areas during the period of 1600 BC to the year 1.Hippocrates used wine for medicinal purposes and readily prescribed it. Greek wines and their varieties were well known and traded throughout the Mediterranean. The Ancient Greeks introduced vines such as Vitis vinifera and made wine in their numerous colonies in Italy,Sicily, southern France, and Spain. The Vitis vinifera grape which thrives in temperateclimates near coastal areas with mild winters and dry summers adapted well and flourished in the Northern Mediterranean areas. The most reputable wines of ancient Greece were Chian, Coan, Corcyraean, Cretan, Euboean, Lesbian, Leucadian, Mendaean, Peparethan wine, Rhodian and Thasian.Wine was also important for ancient Macedonia. Two other names may or may not be regional: Bibline wine and Pramnian wine are named in the earliest Greek poetry, but without any reliable geographical details.

The Listening Post

History

The show was first aired in November 2006, as was Al Jazeera English itself. The show was part of the station's original programming line-up and continues to this day. Throughout its lifetime, from launch to date, the show's presenter has been Richard Gizbert. Gizbert, a veteran of ABC News, was recruited in April 2006, in the run-up to the station's launch, to present the media-analysis show.

Format

The aim of the show is to offer a critique of journalism and of the media industry around the world today: "The Listening Post aims to monitor all forms of media, from networks to bloggers, and report on what they do or do not cover."

Each episode presents:

two in-depth reports, showing how the key stories of the week have been handled by the various players in the world's media.

a segment known as "The Download" (formerly "Global Village Voices") that airs viewers' comments on the stories featured.

The Listening (band)

The Listening is an American rock band originally from Washington and currently based out of Franklin, Tennessee. Touring extensively through North America and Europe from 2004–2006, the group largely disappeared over the following years until it resurfaced mid-way through 2008, announcing the release of a new EP before the end of the year; Gabriel Wilson is now a worship leader and an integral part of the music program at Bethel Church in Redding, CA while Josiah and Nolan remain in Tennessee. Jason now lives in Folsom, CA. The Listening still collaborates with each other by exchanging ideas and instrument tracks through the web. A new LP entitled "LMNOP" is being worked on with no clear due date in mind.

The Listening (film)

The Listening (In ascolto) is a movie based on the mass surveillance operations conducted by the National Security Agency (NSA) with the aid of private corporations. It was Italian director Giacomo Martelli's debut movie and explored the dire consequences that can arise due to excessive corporate influence on a government agency set up for mass surveillance.

Plot

In the late 1990s, the National Security Agency (NSA) and a computer software firm, Wendell Crenshaw work together to implement a surveillance technology, the Echelon, which enables NSA to monitor almost anybody in the world. When classified information about the Echelon system accidentally finds its way into a young woman's hands, a terrible clash occurs in the opinions of a top-executive at Wendell Crenshaw and an NSA operative, the former determined to find out what the lady knows even if it means using violence and the latter, equally determined to save an innocent woman's life

ECHELON

Making a film specifically on ECHELON offered the possibility of exploring the issues of interception, violation of privacy, and the interference of corporate interests in matters of national as well as international security simultaneously.

The Listening (Little Brother album)

The Listening is the debut album of North Carolina trio Little Brother. It was released in early 2003 on ABB Records. The album became a surprise word-of-mouth sensation among underground rap fans, despite its lack of promotion, guest appearances, or extensive distribution.

Overview

As the main producer for the group, 9th Wonder's instrumentals consist of chopped and manipulated samples of old soul records, reminiscent of Pete Rock and DJ Premier. Complimenting the backdrops are MC's Phonte and Rapper Big Pooh with their tag-team wordplay and raps. On "Speed", they rap about the pressures of working a regular job while trying to survive in the rat race, while on "Make Me Hot", they make fun of people who hassle them for beats and studio time. They also do some uncanny impressions of old school era MC's on "So Fabulous".

The underlying theme of The Listening concerns the group's effort to engage their listeners on a deeper level, and their frustration at casual listeners who pay little attention to lyrics and content and simply want to hear a "hot song". The interludes are performed by the members of a fictional radio station called WJLR (Justus League Radio). On the last song, "The Listening", the group addresses the album's main theme directly: they abruptly stop the song, exchange dialogue, then restart.

Special Forces (2003 film)

Special Forces is a 2003 American war film directed by Isaac Florentine and written by David N. White. The film stars Marshall R. Teague, Tim Abell and Danny Lee Clark.

Synopsis

In the aftermath of the war in Bosnia, a Colonel convicted of war crimes has taken command of the military of the former Soviet republic of Muldonia.

In a Hezbollahterrorist camp, a U.S. Army private is being held hostage. His interrogator decides to terrorise him with a revolver. Meanwhile, an elite Special Forces team infiltrates the camp to rescue him. Eventually, they're spotted, and are forced to open fire on the terrorists. The team rescues the private and flee in a boat back to friendly territory. Which is followed by another mission of rescuing an American journalist. The movie mainly focuses upon the impossible rescue mission.

EfSyn: A Greek media success story - The Listening Post (Feature)

Greece's financial crisis in 2009 led to all kinds of businesses crashing and burning - newspapers included.
One of those that went bankrupt in 2011 and disappeared from newsstands was Eleftherotypia, which had been one of the country's most influential dailies.
Out of that paper's ashes, rose another publication, Efimerida ton Syntakton, or EfSyn.
The paper has blazed a trail in the Greek media space. The journalists run the outlet as a collective and it means their business model, their editorial process and their coverage are significantly different from the rest of the mainstream press.
The journalists all own a share of the paper, many of them pulled together personal funds to launch it four years ago. Editors are voted in and everyone gets paid the same - apart from the director, Nicholas Voulelis, who came out of retirement to invest his time in this project - for free.
"EfSyn, the journalists' journal - it's an independent paper, with no owner, no magnate, no party behind it, no government. It is a collective property," says Nicholas Voulelis, the director of Efimerida ton Syntakton.
In a country still in financial dire straits, where trust in the media is low, EfSyn's circulation is on the rise.

Greek wine

Greece is one of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world. The earliest evidence of Greek wine has been dated to 6,500 years ago where wine was produced on a household or communal basis. In ancient times, as trade in wine became extensive, it was transported from end to end of the Mediterranean; Greek wine had especially high prestige in Italy under the Roman Empire. In the medieval period, wines exported from Crete, Monemvasia and other Greek ports fetched high prices in northern Europe.

The origins of wine-making in Greece go back 6,500 years and evidence suggesting wine production confirm that Greece is home to the second oldest known grape wine remnants discovered in the world and the world’s earliest evidence of crushed grapes.
